A big Thank you to Mrs. Mary and her husband for all there help." - "My family and I, group of 12, traveled to Louisiana for the graduation of our youngest son from Grambling State University. We chose to stay at this property because it was secluded, there was plenty of space, and the scenery was beautiful in the photos. We were not disappointed. We were able to spend time together under one roof without feeling crowded. Mary was present to greet us when we arrived. And yes we received a plate of delicious cookies. Our adult boys were able to energetically debate the best athletes without disturbing our neighbors. The home is cozy and super clean. I cooked 3 meals a day for my crew with no space issues. There were plenty of towels, dishes, etc... We contacted Mary a couple times and she responded quickly.
